Parrot Drones will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as that used by the Consumer for the initial transaction, unless the Consumer expressly agrees to a different means; in any case, this reimbursement will not occasion any fees for the Consumer. Parrot Drones may postpone reimbursement until Parrot Drones has received the Product concerned or until the Consumer has provided proof of dispatch of the Product, the key date being whichever of these comes first.
21.    The Consumer must return the Product or Products concerned to Parrot Drones without excessive delay and, in any case, not later than fourteen (14) days after communicating his or her decision to cancel his or her order.

Legal guarantees

28.    Legal rights against faulty goods. A Consumer residing in the European Union may enforce against Parrot Drones the application of the legal rights against faulty goods referred to by articles L.217-4 and following of the French Consumer Code (transcribed in part in Annexe 2) if the purchased Product does not conform to contract.
    If the Product does not conform to contract, the Consumer may choose between repair or replacement. Parrot Drones will repair or replace the Product concerned without charge, in accordance with article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code. The Consumer has a right to obtain a reduction in the purchase price or a termination of the order in the following events:
(a)    If repair or replacement of the Product is not possible;
(b)    If replacement or repair of the Product cannot be implemented within a reasonable period; or
(c)    If replacement or repair of the Product cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for Parrot Drones.
Un défaut mineur pour lequel la réparation ou le remplacement ne sont pas possibles ou excessivement chers ne donne pas droit à la résolution de la commande.
    A minor defect as a result of which repair or replacement is not possible or is excessively expensive does not give a right to the termination of the order. The legal rights against faulty goods cover failures of compliance that occur within two (2) years of the delivery of the Product purchased from Parrot Drones.  
    To benefit from the legal rights against faulty goods, the Consumer must notify Parrot Drones of the faulty Product in writing, either by sending his or her request to Parrot Drones SAS – 174, quai de Jemmapes – 75010 Paris – France, or via the "Customer Service" on the Site. Unless proven otherwise, failures of compliance that appear within twenty four (24) months of the delivery of the Product are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless this presumption is not compatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the failure of compliance.
    The legal rights against faulty goods apply independently of the commercial guarantee indicated in articles 30 to 38 of these conditions of sale.
29.    Guarantee against hidden defects. A Consumer residing in France may assert against Parrot Drones the application of the guarantee against hidden defects referred to in articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code (transcribed in part in Annexe 2) if the purchased Product displays a hidden defect that makes it unsuitable for use or that so diminishes such use that the Consumer would not have purchased it, or would only have paid a lower price, if he or she had known of it. 
    Si le Produit présente un vice caché, le Client pourra choisir soit de retourner le Produit à Parrot Drones et obtenir le remboursement du prix et des frais occasionnés par la vente (tels que les frais de livraison), soit de le conserver et obtenir restitution d’une partie du prix et ce, conformément à l’article 1644 du Code Civil français.
    If the Product displays a hidden defect, the Consumer may choose either to return the Product to Parrot Drones and obtain the reimbursement of the price and the fees occasioned by the sale (such as delivery charges), or to retain it and obtain the return of a part of the price, in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code. An action under the guarantee against hidden defects must be brought within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect; in accordance with article 2232 of the French Civil Code, the carrying over of the starting point, the suspension, or interruption of the statute of limitations cannot have the effect of extinguishing the statute of limitations beyond twenty (20) years from the date of origin of the right.
    To benefit from the guarantee against hidden defects, the Consumer must notify Parrot Drones of the hidden defects in writing, either by sending his or her request to Parrot Drones SAS – 174, quai de Jemmapes – 75010 Paris – France, or via "Customer Service" on the Site, and supply proof that the Product was affected by the said hidden defect on the day of the sale.

LEGAL RIGHTS AGAINST FAULTY GOODS

Article L.217-4 of the French Consumer Code
The vendor is obliged to deliver a good conform to the contract and is answerable for any lack of compliance existing on its delivery.

The vendor is also answerable for failures of compliance resulting from the packaging, installation instructions or the installation if the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was effected under his responsibility.

Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code
In order to comply with the contract, the good must:
1° Be suitable for the use normally expected of a similar good and, where appropriate:
- correspond to the description given by the vendor and possess the qualities that the latter has presented to the purchaser in the form of a sample or model;
- display the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect, having regard to the public declarations made by the vendor, by the producer, or by his representative, in advertisements or labelling in particular;
2° Or display the characteristics defined jointly by the parties or be suitable for any special use sought-by the purchaser, made known to the vendor and accepted by the latter.

Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code
In the event of a default of compliance, the buyer may choose between the repair and the replacement of the property.

However, the vendor may not proceed in accordance with the choice of the buyer if this implies a manifestly disproportionate cost compared with the other option, having regard to the value of the property or the importance of the default. He is then obliged to proceed in accordance with the option not chosen by the buyer, unless this is impossible.

Article L.217-12 of the French Consumer Code
Any action consequent on a failure of compliance is limited to two years counting from the delivery of the good.
